Abstract

The number of instars of pear sawfly larvae (Janus piri Okamoto) collected front field pear trees, were determined by measuring the width of head capsule, and the growth ratio in each instar was also studied. 1. The larval head width had six distinct peaks, which suggests that the larva of this insect passes six instars. 2. The head width tended to increase as the instars avdance, except in tile first and second instars. The coeffieient of variation decressed as the instars advanced. The growth ratio, which was similarly great in the first and second instars, decreased as the instars advanced. 3. Gains' and Campbell's formulae seemed to be more suitable than Dyer's for the determination of larval instars of this insect by the measurement of headwidth. 4. The larval instars could be inferred from the extent of damage to pear tree by this insect; that is the larvae in the second to fourth instars usually gave slight and invissible damage, while those in the fifth to sixth instars gave rapid and severe damage.

배나무 줄기벌의 유충을 수체내에서 채집하여 두폭을 측정하여 영기를 판정함과 동시에 성충비를 알아본 바 다음과 같다. 1) 유충의 두폭의 변이곡선은 구분된 6개의 계곡으로 나타나는데 이것은 5회의 탈피를 하여 6영을 지내는 것으로 추정된다. 2) 두폭의 표준편차는 1영과 2영이외에는 영이 커짐에 따라 커졌으며, 변이계수는 영이 커짐에 따라 줄어지는 경향이었다. 그리고 성장비는 1-2영시는 크고, 영이 높아짐에 따라 적어졌다. 3) 배나무 줄기벌 유충의 두폭성장 추정에는 Dyar식 보다 Gains와 Campbell식이 더욱 적합하였다. 4) 유충 영기는 피해 정도로 보아서 다음과 같이 추정된다. 즉 2-4영의 유충 피해는 극히 적으며 피해증상이 나타나지 않으나 5-6영시 피해는 급진적이며 외형으로 피해가 나타난다.
